That's a contradiction of terms, Runflats and great handling in the same sentence.
On paved roads, wet or dry, RFTs are non-responsive and lack any feel thru the wheel.

RFTs can "save the day", but they can also "drain the wallet" (replacement is required after driving them without air for any significant distance).

Question; What can a repaired RFT can be trusted for?
Answer: Rolling a vehicle out of the garage.

The orange "clown nose" is supposed to go on the front, not rear.

That sucks - how long did it take with that scissor jack? I can usually swap a tire pretty quickly when I need to, but getting my 4.8 high enough with that thing took almost an hour on the side of the road.

Willy's 1:18 diecast X5 in Imola Red sitting on my 1:1 X5 in Imola Red. It's a pre-facelift 4.4, but it's on drilled and slotted rotors with black grills. Yes, I am thinking about painting the kidneys and wheels to match mine, and yes I do have a small can of Imola Red paint so I could hypothetically paint the door handles and rear lip to match.
